Hope is on the horizon for Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Baton Rouge following days of severe flooding. Fr. Anthony Monteleone and the Holy Trinity community extend many thanks for the physical, spiritual and monetary support of parishioners, local parishes, the Metropolis of Atlanta Philoptochos, the National Philoptochos and the IOCC.
After four days of rain and flooding in southeast Louisiana, the damage is staggering: Eleven people have been killed, more than 10,000 people are staying in emergency shelters, more than 20,000 have been displaced, and more than 36,000 have registered for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
